Hope the skin I sent you worked well. I love the blade you made for me.

Been a taxidermist for 30 plus years.i put copperhead skins that were in glycerin and alcohol for 7 years on my recurve with no problems at all after one year of rough hunting.its all about degreasing,cleaning and the type of glue you use.if this interests you contact me I be glad to tell you how it can be done successfully. Love your videos and content

[@huntprimitive9918]

I appreciate it. Since this video I have been using skins cured in glycerin as well. I just degrease them heavily and as you say, they work just fine. Thanks for checking in and wanting to share the tip

I’ve got a bow that I just sinew backed tonight, I’m gonna do a little touch up sinew work tomorrow and hopefully have skins on it by Monday. Thanks for the tips! Oh and I watched your sinew string video again thanks for the inspiration

[@ahmadfranskarel3280]

Thanks for the knowledge. You very underrated good sir, i hope the channel can reach 100k subs this year.

Sinew backed bows work well in dry prairies mongolian steppes. How to use them in humid areas like Britain , the glue (made of animal skin) used to bond the sinew,wood & horn is water soluble. How to make sure your horn bow is usable in humid conditions?

[@joshflowers6117]

Would the skin stick well to a fiberglass backed recure such as a bear grizzly ?

[@Lost_Hwasal]

Does this backing add any durability to the bow or is it purely cosmetic?

[@andrewmilliken4315]

Probably just for cosmetic

Hey Ryan. Been watching for a while now. Good stuff. I make my own arrows either spoon trade points because of your vids. I was on your website recently and saw a spelling error I would like you to know about. It was on one of your stone knife descriptions. Keep up the good work.

[@vijaykorvekar1009]

Will python skin do the work

[@sundancekidd1550]

Outstanding job!

[@stephanmenzel9457]

Amazing🤩🤩🤩

[@MrDavis-oz6uw]

Excellent!

[@serba73]

do you think it is bad for bow to wrap the snake skin all around the bow or this is just a cosmetic issue.

[@PrimitiveVsns]

What paint do you use above the skins?

[@pierreremondet3273]

What is the withe thing in the bow ?

[@tonysbones2813]

Bro I've lived in Ms, Ga, Fl, amd currently Utah ive been actively looking for rattle snakes since i was 7 and I'm going on 21 now. Ive only seen them hit on the road so theyre extremely rare to me 😂

[@dickyboi4956]

I live in North Georgia and the creek in the woods behind my childhood home belonged to the 6 foot long copperheads every summer lol. Never seen a live rattlesnake though

[@007jan]

I might've missed this in the video but is this done purely just for looks? Or does it have a function like sinew backing for example?

[@erikkline7197]

looks

[@pelinalwhitestrake8195]

Looks

[@sheepsfoot2]

I was reading on tradbow forum said adding even snake skin will add some poundage to the bow !

[@TheAca300]

[@zeuso.1947]

Just wondering. Why not use an epoxy?

[@chickennuggetinagutter.7864]

You can

[@Hu3hn3rschr3ck]

but why snakeskin?

[@pelinalwhitestrake8195]

If I remember many native tribes use snake skin on their bows

[@signaturerush]
